Mumbai, June 23 (IANS) Director Vinil Mathew has opened up about Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey, the stars of his new film "Haseen Dillruba", saying they are stellar performers but have different approaches.
"Taapsee and Vikrant are stellar performers with different approaches. Vikrant has a background in theatre, hence he improvises a lot, enjoys rehearsals and attempts multiple takes where he keeps refining and tweaking his performance until he hits the perfect note," says Mathew.
"Taapsee, on the other hand, is a qualified engineer and perhaps that is why she has a methodical and precise approach to her preparation. She is extremely sharp and perceptive, and maps her character's layers and trajectory very early on. She then combines this with a lot of spontaneity and her first few takes are absolute gems," the filmmaker adds.
"Haseen Dillruba" is a mystery thriller set for OTT release. The film co-stars Harshvardhan Rane.
YouTube sensation Lilly Singh wants a 'Bollywood' touch to her late night show, and says she would like to host stars like Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan on "A Little Late with Lilly Singh".
National Award-winning actress and filmmaker Konkona Sen Sharma says she loves to watch and share films at film festivals because she feels the audience comprises pure movielovers and she belongs to that "moviewatching" community.
The actress says the film does not intend to make fun of dark skin. Rather, it tries to break the bias or obsession that people have with fair skin in India.
Actor Varun Sharma, who became popular as Choocha in the "Fukrey" films and Sexa in "Chhichhore", recently turned wedding planner for a close friend, and planned plastic-free festivities.
